Rudra opened his eyes to find a wooden ceiling upfront, while he lay on a normal bed. It took him a few moments to come to his full senses, he got up and looked around, the room he was in was very cozy, with the place of nearly only three people to stand with the bed. At the corner was a wooden upon which was kept a vas3and a few pieces of cloth stained with red blood.
He didn't had any garments on his upper body as Rudra looked at his right arm to find that it was heavily bandaged and was completely covered, he could also feel the fragrance of the Ayurvedic herbs used to treat his wounds invading his nostrils. Rudra tried and stood up from the bed when he heard the crinkling sound of the room door as it was pushed open.
With a flurry of steps a nurse wearing cream colored dress walked in, but as soon as she saw Rudra standing on his feet she was startled for moment but then immediately responded, "Sir, you should take some rest!"
"How did I come here?", he wondered that how come was he here.
"Actually you were brought to this town by a group of travelers!", the nurse replied.
"What travelers! Which town!", Rudra was bewildered to listen this.
"Actually you are in the Dinak town. As of about the group travelers we don't know who they were but right now they are here in the town!", The nurse explained.
Rudra looked around, and found his sack bag on the nearby table, he opened it and took out the map he had bought previously to locate the Dinak town was a side town of one of the neighboring cities of Kashvyagiri which lay right after Besaak city.
After analyzing , Rudra realized that last night he coincidentally stumbled upon one of the towns of the Besaak city, and unfortunately encountered those two dangerous beasts, and after he fainted in the middle of that empty vast field, this people on the carriages must have carried him here.
But this also meant he wasn't much far from Kashvyagiri, it would be easier for him to return back. But before that he decided to thank those travelers before they leave the town for the great deed of helping him at the right moment. If not for their help, Rudra would have lost it due to over bleeding and weakness.
Rudra immediately tried to exit the room but was stopped by the nurse, "You can't go! You need to rest!"
"I need to go right now!", Rudra said as he wore his upper garment, pushing the nurse aside he walked out of the room.
"But let me change the bandage!", Rudra stopped right there and turned around. "Give those ayurvedic herbs and bandages to me, I will do it myself, I am in a hurry."
But as Rudra moved his hands to take those ingredients from the nurse, but that nurse hit his hands and stopped him right there, "I am the one in charge of taking your care, without changing the bandage I wont let you go!"
The nurse said as she untied the strip clothes wrapped around Rudra's right arm, below those cloth strips there were a few green leaves wrapped upon the scratches of his arms, those leaves were healing leaves mostly use by people to heal injuries like this.
Healing leaf is a special ayurvedic ingredients which helps the injuries to heal faster. The nurse exchanged that damaged leaf with a new healing leaf which let out a fresh fragrance. Then she wrapped some new cloth strips around Rudra's arms tightly.
Completing the process, the nurse smiled, "Fine, now you can go."
Rudra glared at her but then he walked out of the room to enter into a huge corridor, where he was greeted by several similar rooms filled with patients being treated. Rudra looked around and walked out of that corridor and entered a hall.
Rudra had realized that he was in a medical house right now, walking around in its main lobby he looked toward the front to find the huge gate that led to the exit. But then his foot stopped at their place as he turned around and saw the nurse who was following him to the exit for hospitality.
"By the way who treated my injuries?", Rudra asked.
"Physician Dinaak, he is in the garden right now"
The nurse said as she pointed towards another way which led to an open green garden filled with medicinal herbs. Rudra walked into the garden, and the fresh fragrance of all this herbs immediately invaded his nostrils.
Rudra spotted an old man plucking some leaves from those herbs, he immediately approached that man.
"Thank you sir! For treating my arm injury."
The old man nodded as he slightly turned his head, "if you are in a hurry, then you can go, just consume some healing pills regularly."
He said in his old shaking voice. Rudra bowed to the old man and took out two iron shillings from his pouch and handed it to the nurse standing beside him. Rudra then went back into the house and walked towards the exit.
Upon exiting the medical house Rudra looked around, according to what the nurse had told him those people who left him in this medical house were staying in a motel within the town, fortunately he found a huge map board nearby, he went there to find the only motel of the town.
Rudra followed the way shown in the map, and in just a few minutes he arrived there, 'Dinak town motel.', with these words written on its board, that motel monument was decorated to look like an average luxury motel.
In front of the motel in the compound were parked a few carriages and carts with their horses, upon viewing closely he speed a familiar carriage, because it was the one he had seen last night before fainting. It had a small wooden coach box for the passengers with a door on one side and windows on both sides, and a seat for the driver who would control the horse pulling it.
Sweeping his gaze across his eyes fell on a middle-aged muscular man with broad and proud moustache, and an old man with long white beard, and hair. But he scared to depths when someone suddenly startled him as a ghost, tapping his shoulder from behind.
"Hey, aren't you the young man wearing rescued last night!"
"I came here to thank you people for helping me.", Rudra said.
"Then let me take you the one's you should actually thank!", that man forcibly dragged Rudra with him towards that muscular and old man.
Approaching the carriage, after the muscular man the old man too was about to board it when he spotted one of his bodyguards dragging a young boy towards him, but weird fact was that to that old man, that young boy's face felt very familiar.
"Rudra!", the old man said with a smile on his face after he recognized who this boy was upon enclosing him. Even Rudra himself was perplexed that how this old man who he hadn't even met knew his name. The muscular man sitting in the carriage too peaked out to see what was going on.
Meanwhile the old man said, "Rudra, don't you remember me?!"
Hearing these words, Rudra stared at that old man for over a minute and he realized that this face was much familiar. Upon searching through his memory Rudra remembered that this old man was a friend of his grandpa.
"old man Aagam!", Rudra exclaimed as this name clicked in his mind.
Rudra remembered that Aagam was Vihaan's childhood friend, Aagam was the leader of Dhaara clan in the Dhaaragiri city. Due to these two old men being childhood friends, both Dhaara and Skambha clan have been very strong allies since years and aid each other in situations of need.
Aagam used to praise him, but Rudra also remembered that how Aagam was began distancing himself from Rudra as a hint of disappointment due to the loss of his powers, all those praises had turned into honey soaked teases, whereas he only talked to Rudra because of his friend Vihaan.
"Yes son, long time no see, I see that you have unlocked your first chakra!", Aagam said with a warm smile spread across his face.
Rudra had already noticed that there wasn't any hint of teases in Aagam's words. He had already sensed that Rudra had unlocked his first chakra, leading to such a change in his behavior. Rudra spotted the muscular man step out of the carriage.
"Father, why are you wasting time, we need to hurry!", the muscular man said as he glared at rRhdra fiercely.
"Sharun, do you remember him he is Rudra!", Aagam said as he pointed towards Rudra.
Sharun tried to remember putting pressure on his memories, his eyes furrowed as he looked towards the young boy standing in front of him, but despite his struggles he didn't recall anything. With confused expressions he looked towards Aagam.
"fool, even though you are my son, how can you have such weak memory, he is Vihaan's Grand son.", Aagam introduced Rudra to Sharun. Sharun was Aagam's son, and was also the vice leader of the Dhaara clan.
"By the way, I would like to thank you for helping me last night!", Rudra said as he joined his palms.
Aagam nodded his head, "You don't need to thank us but, how did you get such a severe injury."
"Just encountered a dangerous mystical beast.", Rudra replied as he looked at the huge bandage that covered the half of his right arm.
"Guess, you too were caught in the incident of kashvyagiri, but how come are you here?", Aagam said with tense expressions while he stroked his long white beard.
Rudra's eyes widened as he was completely bewildered, "What incident are you talking about?"
"Weren't you in Kashvyagiri last night?", Sharun spoke up.
"No last night I wasn't there, but what happened in Kashvyagiri.", Rudra became more tense about it.
Aagam kept his hands on Rudra's shoulder as he inhaled a deep breath, "We got a message, that last night, Kashvyagiri faced a mystical beast attack."
